About This Listing

With Airbnb, you can find unique accommodations in people's homes—from houses and apartments, to tree houses and igloos. The listing details below explain what you'll find in this space. If you have any questions, you can contact the host directly.

Located in the heart of Brooklyn's most stylish neighborhood, this amazing apartment has served as an inspiring home for a New York-based writer for the past 10 years. The space, which is over a hundred years old and literally steps away from the neighborhood's best restaurants and bars, is loaded with charm (moldings, exposed brick, skylight, etc.) and nicely decorated with a mix of modern and antique furnishings. Only five minutes from the Bedford Avenue subway, you can be in downtown Manhattan in 15 minutes and anywhere else within half an hour.

It's a two-floor walk-up, railroad style apartment with a queen bed, and a small office with a foldout couch (full-sized), so it's ideal for a couple or two close friends traveling together. The apartment is located two floors above a bar—not a terribly noisy one, but a bar nonetheless, so may not be ideal for extra-sensitive sleepers.

Flat-screen television and Xbox 360 with streaming Netflix are included to ensure you have a great, relaxing stay.

David was the perfect host! He quickly responded to all our questions, he was friendly, and he also gave us lots of information on the neighbourhood and on the apartment. The apartment is really beautiful, we had an amazing stay! The apartment was clean and everything was exactly as described in the airbnb ad. The Neighbourhood is great btw, lots of good restaurants and bars, lots of amazing shops, and staying in Brooklyn is IMO very comfortable; Manhattan can be quiet stressful from time to time.
Thanks again David!

I wholly recommend staying at David's place. The location is great and the apartment is fantastic, we were really surprised at how big it was as we usually stay in the city. David was easy to get hold of if we needed him and had some great recommendations for dinner. Stay at David's place, you won't regret it. Thanks David! Jem

David's Williamsburg apartment is fantastic!! The location is amazing - very easy to get to Manhattan by subway and walking distance to all the best local bars and restaurants. It was clean, spacious and had everything we needed and David was very quick to respond to any questions we had. Would definitely stay there again!

As advertised! This apartment is all about location. It's just minutes from the L train, Du Mont burger is across the street, and all the bars and food you can image in Williamsburg! The apt is bright and neat, and the Mod style is really great. The perfect spot for your Brooklyn adventure!!!

David give us the best Williamsburg experience. His apartment is very well located, in the middle of Bedford avenue, just some minutes from the L train (one station to Manhattan). The building is old, but charming, with problems of bad maintaining in the stairs and the hallways. Don't be discouraged: the apt. is on good shape, airy and well-lit, with a lot of space and some stylish furniture. The TV and conection for wi-fi and our iPods were available and works well. We could invite friends for dinner, as there's a table for 6 and cookings utensils (including Le Creusets!). David also gave us smart advices about eating and going out in the neighbourhood, which, for us, is simply the best place for a 30-years-old-traveler stay on NY.

Hi there! I'm a magazine writer and novelist in my thirties who splits time between homes in Brooklyn and New Orleans. I travel constantly—for work and pleasure—and love hosting people at my homes when I'm away.
